Story
Almost 2 years old. He is a Black German shepherd lab mix. He is fixed and up to date on his shots. He is House trained and crate trained. He also knows basic commands such as sit,stay, and no ect. Would be best suited as the only pet in house hold, no young children. He enjoys walks, cuddles and playing fetch and playing with toys. We adopted him from a shelter in Lewis county last February, he was about 8 months old. We don’t know much about his history, we only know him and his sister were left at a fire station and then bounced around different animal shelters. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Story
Meet Piper – Your Loyal, Playful Companion! Piper is a 65-pound sweetheart living in Portland, OR, and born ~10/1/2023. With a calm, playful personality and a heart full of love, she’s happiest when she’s near her people—with a toy in her mouth and a smile on her face. She’s affectionate, confident, and friendly with people and can be neutral to social towards animals when properly introduced. Piper does great with cats, most dogs, and even livestock (though chickens may need supervision). She loves playing with familiar dog friends, and while she’s still learning how to manage her excitement on leash, she’s making great progress. Strange dogs can cause some leash reactivity to resurface. Piper is house-trained, not destructive, and enjoys car rides, swimming, and outdoor adventures. She’s food-motivated, knows basic commands, and is working on her leash manners. She gives the best welcome-home hugs—standing on her back legs to nuzzle your face like she missed you all day. Her ideal home? A calm environment with someone home most of the time, maybe with another dog and room to roam. She’d thrive with an outdoorsy person or couple who’ll take her hiking or swimming. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key adventure buddy with a heart of gold, Piper is ready to be your new best friend.

Story
~DOB: 12/1/2020 Weight: 55 lbs Energy level: Moderate Overall drive: Moderate Location: San Jose, CA Meet Chex, the dog who believes every problem in life can be solved with…you guessed it…a ball! Chex has survived more than any dog should ever have to. He’s been shot, attacked, abandoned, and spent months waiting in a shelter before finally getting the medical care he deserved. Through it all, he never lost his kind heart, his goofy spirit, or his unwavering belief that people are worth loving. His favorite hobby? Following you around with a ball in his mouth, politely dropping it at your feet, and waiting. Ignore him? He’ll move it somewhere impossible to miss. Still busy? You’ll get one very polite “woof.” It’s impossible not to laugh and love every minute of it. Chex is house-trained, crate-trained, respectful in the home, rides beautifully in the car, does great at the vet, and isn’t bothered by loud noises. He’s smart, eager to learn, and already knows commands like sit, go home, game over, speak, and go get. He’s happiest when he has a job, whether that’s playing fetch, learning new skills, or simply being your loyal sidekick. Chex would thrive with an experienced, active family who appreciates a dog with some energy, drive and a sense of humor. Older, dog-savvy kids would likely be the best fit. Daily exercise, continued training, and plenty of ball time are all he asks. After everything he’s endured, Chex isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for someone who won’t give up on him. And maybe…someone willing to retrieve the occasional ball from under the couch.

Story
~DOB: 6/1/2026 Weight: 48 lbs Energy level: Moderate -High Overall drive: Moderate, High prey Location: Yelm, WA Didi is the whole package: sweet, affectionate, athletic, smart, and just the right amount of goofy. And those floppy ears? Absolutely CUTE. At just 3yrs old, Didi is ready to be someone’s adventure buddy. She loves toys, food, exploring, and playing with other dogs after a thoughtful introduction. She’s quiet and incredibly gentle when taking treats, excellent at the vet, unfazed by loud noises, and keeps her kennel beautifully clean. Didi is curious and very detail-oriented. If she were human, she’d be an exterminator because absolutely NOTHING escapes her notice. She has a high prey drive, so no small animals, but that busy brain could make her a fantastic nosework prospect! She’s moderately/highly energetic and will thrive with someone who enjoys walking, hiking, training, and keeping both her body and brain busy. A male dog to play with would be a bonus. She’s happiest when she’s with her people, so a home where someone is around frequently would be ideal. Didi does have a few young-dog habits to polish like jumping, counter surfing, and the occasional digging project, but she’s smart, food motivated, and responds beautifully to a firm verbal correction. And when she’s entertaining herself? She tosses her toys into the air. Because apparently, Didi believes she’s both the dog AND the entertainment committee. Didi isn’t looking for perfection. She’s looking for her people, her adventures, and a lifetime of being loved.
